Is the UFS specification backwards compatible? Or in other words, does
the existing driver work fine for devices with a controller that
supports a newer version of the spec? I'm asking this because in Linux
kernel driver a version check that excludes newer controller versions is
very unusual. Can the above version check be removed in its entirety?

Thanks,

Bart.
